In Word 2003 I wish to create a global Macros file (MyMacros.dot with keyboard shortcut Alt-N) which is independent of Normal.dot. I proceeded as follows:
File→New
After entering the macro code I saved the file as a Template .dot file in the Word STARTUP folder.
The macro is not working and is not listed in the Tools→Macro→Macros window.
I would be grateful for help on what I am doing wrong.
